Of course you don’t — there wasn’t one. MLB Players had gone on strike that August as owners and players battled over whether there would be a salary cap in baseball. Eventually new commissioner Bud Selig cancelled the playoffs and World Series. A deal wasn’t reached until training camps had opened the next season with replacement players.

But there still is no salary cap in baseball. That lockout and a number of other hard negotiations — including the most recent NHL lockout — were brought to you with Donald Fehr as head of the players union.

Fehr, currently the executive director of the NHL Players Association, is the early preferred pick among multiple agents with enough clout to sway a significant portion of union membership, CBSSports.com has learned.

Fehr, who also has served as executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, declined to comment when reached through the NHLPA Monday because Hunter remains in place as executive director. A person familiar with Fehr’s thinking told CBSSports.com that the hockey union chief is happy in his job and “has no plans to leave his position.

Billy Hunter, who has been head of the NBA players union since 1996, is currently on paid leave, placed their by the executive committee in the wake of an independent report that raised a number of ethical issues around Hunter and his running of the union.

A number of agents want Hunter out and that is driven by the last lockout — they thought Hunter went in without a good plan, was too passive and gave up way, way too much in the negotiations (the players used to get 57 percent of league revenue, that is down to just more than 50 percent now). These are agents, people who make their livings as aggressive negotiators, and they want someone who negotiates like them in there. They don’t like Hunter.

The players will vote on that All-Star weekend in a union meeting. There are also seven spots on the union executive committee to be filled and a lot of other questions about a future direction for the union to be answered.

What even bringing up Fehr’s name shows is where the agents are coming from heading into the eventual 2018 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations. (That summer either side can opt out of the current deal and you can bet one if not both sides will.) Fehr is a hard negotiator — he treats a sports labor dispute like any labor dispute, like a Longshoreman’s strike or truckers or whatever union you want to name. He is the guy who led collusion charges among baseball owners nearly three decades ago.

He’s not afraid to miss games to achieve his goals. A lot of games. NBA owners and Adam Silver (who will have replaced David Stern as Commissioner by then) will know going in what kind of negotiator they are dealing with.

Fehr may or may not ever become head of the NBA players union. But that his name is being put out there shows where some agents want to take this fight.

Where’s the Cavaliers down by one point with nine seconds to go in the fourth quarter, Rodney Hood took it upon himself to take what he thought would be the last shot for Cleveland. Hood danced around the defense before finally taking a jumper from the free-throw line, which bounced softly off the rim.

Nance, battling down low for the rebound, worked his way free for a tip-in as time expired.

What counts as collusion these days in the NBA? What counts as tampering? It’s hard to say, but the league office takes a look at each and every comment like the one LeBron James made on Tuesday about New Orleans Pelicans big man Anthony Davis.

Speaking to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, James said it would be incredible if Davis were somehow able to make his way onto the Los Angeles Lakers. This slots into the rumor around the NBA that LA is stockpiling its young core to be able to trade for a player like Davis.

“That would be amazing,” James told ESPN on Tuesday before the Lakers’ 115-110 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. “That would be amazing, like, duh. That would be incredible.”

There’s nothing much here that LeBron said that isn’t factual. Davis is a 5-time All-Star and one of the best players in the NBA, a unicorn not unlike LeBron himself.

The NBA is certainly hoping that the Lakers can get their act together and put a powerhouse around James at Staples Center. How he does it is up for debate, although making comments about current players probably isn’t the best idea. James has been able to keep his mouth shut for the most part, but perhaps talk of Davis is just too tempting.

But was Harden called for a travel by officials? No. At least, not at first.

Video of Harden’s ridiculous shuffle was circulated on social media after the Houston Rockets beat the Utah Jazz, 102-97. Harden was asked about the move by media, and said that he wasn’t going to tell on himself, which is fair enough.

On Tuesday the official NBA referee Twitter page decided to comment on the play at hand, admitting that they had made a mistake and had missed a travel.

Via Twitter:

The offensive player gathers the ball while on his right foot. He then takes a step with his left foot (step 1) into a hop step, landing first with his right foot (step 2) and then illegally with his left (step 3). We missed this one – it is a traveling violation. https://t.co/BqMAoZHgIu

Having a Twitter account hasn’t always worked out for the NBRA. Their explanations of what many would consider to be violations have often stood in the face of common sense. To that end, they’ve sometimes been mocked on social media, which is against their goal of having the social channel in the first place. But this play with Harden was a particular sore subject with fans around the league, and it was right of them in to make a comment.

LeBron James is seemingly and ageless wonder. The Los Angeles Lakers forward is still one of the most athletic players to ever grace an NBA court, and despite his obvious physical decline, that’s not to say he’s a slouch out there. He’s not exactly late-career Boris Diaw just yet.

But LeBron is now 34 years old, and as such there are other players on the floor with him at any given time that have a bit more bounce than The King. James found that out the hard way on Tuesday night as the Lakers took on the Brooklyn Nets in New York.

During a play early in the first quarter, James drove to the basket only to be rejected by Brooklyn’s Jarrett Allen at the rim.
